The One with the Silence Before the Storm

I've always had a thing for lists (hello, mild obsessive-compulsive disorder), so I thought this would be something kinda fun to do before I go to sleep.

Anywho, Third Year starts in approximately nine-and-a-half hours. Well, technically, it started last Monday, but I "didn't need to attend" (read: CBF coming to) Week Zero. But my first lecture kicks off 10AM today, so I figured I'd prepare a checklist, just to see how prepared I am. Here goes nothing!

• [x] School supplies (i.e. pens, paper, etc.) [Well, I've got a lot left over from last year. So that settles that.]
• [ ] Books [I can buy those tomorrow.]
• [x] iPod [Never leave home without it.]
• [x] Nintendo DS [I'm fixin' to get my nerd on.]
• [x] Timetable [Albeit printed in a really light red, thanks to printer malfunctions. Note to self: need ink.]
• [x] Allowance [Minus $27.50 tomorrow morning. Thank you, weekly TravelPass.]
• [ ] Sense of readiness for upcoming year [Okay, seriously, I've spent the last three-and-a-half months doing NOTHING related to Uni work. How prepared can I actually be? My MSN status message probably says it best: "not ready. but probably as ready as i'll ever be." B-e-a-utiful. ]

Addendum: wow, apparently it only takes about three months for someone to completely forget where everything goes in their Uni bag. Schveets!

Also, I happened upon a list I made at the start of my Holidays, detailing the things I was most looking forward to this past summer. Here goes more nothing! (...How does that actually work? MORE nothing? How can you have more of NOTHING? In other news, WHY am I thinking philosophically at 12:35AM? HOW many sentences can I have with a word typed in capital letters? How many questions can I string together?)

(Okay, I think that answered the last one. Six questions.)

• Haircut [I actually got TWO haircuts this summer. Short-ish spiky hair, what up! This time around, I shunned the "ZOMG join the Military already!" look, but it was still short enough to spike.]
• Belated Halloween Party [Wins several awards: Best Party Ever; Best Way To Kick Off Summer; Best Costume Design; Best Drunkies (to Julz, Karl, Villon and Liz); Best Cleanup Job In History]
• Finishing Resistance/FFXII/FFIII/Pokemon Diamond [Done, Done, Losing Interest But May Possibly Be Done By Next Sem, Done]
• Playing NBA 2K8 [Fun, as long as my PS3 isn't freezing! Sonofabitch.]
• NBA Games [Abundance of Lakers games this summer = SCHVEETS.]
• Beach! [Well, we went ONCE? Does that count?]
• Repairing sleeping patterns [Thank you, FFXII, for keeping me awake until 5AM. I fixed it for ONE day. Then it went down the drain straight after. Summer, what up!]
• My results. [Maintaining Distinction average over my first two years, WHAT UP!]

12:44AM. Anyways, over and out!
